Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder (or fresh ginger, minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
- Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Step 3: Cook the Chicken
- Arrange Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Reserve any leftover marinade for later.
- Air Fry: Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and slightly caramelized.
Step 4: Prepare the Vegetables
- Steam Vegetables: While the chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli and bell peppers until tender, about 5-7 minutes. You can also sauté them in a pan with a little olive oil if preferred.
Step 5: Make the Sauce
- Thicken Marinade: In a small saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 6: Assemble the Bowls
- Slice Chicken: Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- Build the Bowl: In serving bowls, add a scoop of cooked rice, top with sliced teriyaki chicken, steamed broccoli, and bell peppers. Drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the top.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
- Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve warm.
